This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Sylvester L. Corrothers (December 3, 1864 - ?) was a religious leader in the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church in United States. He led congregations in South Carolina, Arkansas,[1] and New York[2] as well as the Galbraith Church in Washington D.C.
He was born in Yorkville, South Carolina.[1] He studied at Livingstone College.[3]
He led the Galbraith Church in Washington D.C. and hosted an A. M. E. Zion conference with attendees including Bishop George W. Clinton.[4] His image appears in a church history.[5] A letter from Theodore Roosevelt expressed cordial congratulations and regards as well as an inability to attend an event at his Galbraith church.[6]
He supported Theodore Roosevelt's candidacy over William Taft, even threatening to back a Democrat like Speaker of the House Champ Clark over Taft if Taft were to become the Republican nominee.[7]
He married and had three children.
